WoW. This blog is still around?

Hmm well not much to update. Tressa is working hard. She got a new employee who she absolutly loves. She is polite, attentive, always has a positive attitude and above all is very mature. Tressa is a lot happier now that she has started working there. I have been unemployed for a while now. Finding work in Newport that can pay you anything decent is very tough. I have been looking into getting into the banking world. My brother in law started out as a bank teller and 7 short years later is making 6 figures. I really would like to go the same path. But with the economy in such a funk the banking world is surly taking a hit.

Makayla is now in public school. She loves it very much. The class is large and she has made many friends. Her teacher loves her energy in class and says mak is very smart. 

Tressa and I have started catching up on Smallville. I have always been a superman fan and if some of you remember our wedding had a superman theme. We just finished season 2 and the show is in its 9th season already. LOL we have a lot of catching up to do! But its a fun little hobby we have that is pretty cheap. 

As some of you may have heard I am no longer friends with Nick. When you roommate with someone you really get to see the kind of person they are. I tried after he moved out to salvage some kind of friendship but found that it was just not worth salvaging. It's not like we were childhood friends. 

I miss you friends in Bend. We have thought about moving to Portland. Tressa's boss has offerd her a district manager position but she turned it down because I had just gotten hired with the Sheriffs Office. We regret that now. Tressa has talked with her boss about possibly taking over a Portland store. We would be closer to her bother and sister in law and I would have more of an opportunity to find work. Makayla is young and would make friends quickly there. I have really wanted to work for a mac retail store and there are several in Portland that are hiring. 

I have a job interview with AT&T Wireless here in town this thursday and am really hoping to get a job with them. They have a great pay range and offer great benefits. Wish me luck.

Thats all for now..

What is with People?

Hi everyone it's me Tressa. I hope that everyone is doing good. These last couple of months have taught me a lot. I don't understand Why the hell people have to be so mean and hurtful to other people. I feel that a true friend means that you don't talk shit behind your friends back. A true friend is there for you no matter what. Even if you don't know someone you can't judge a book by the cover. Sorry if this offends anyone but I'm tired of people being rude and hurtful to others. I wish that we could all look at people like kids do. Kids are so innocent. They just like you for you. So my new goal in life is to be the best friend, mother, wife and Boss that I can be. I want to be there for my friends no matter what time it is or what they have done. I truly hope that if any of my Friends need me that they know that I'm here. No matter what. I won't judge them. I can only love them for who they truly are. So anyways enough about that on to other stuff. We have been so busy since moving here to Newport. I love every moment of it. I feel that since moving here Gregg and I have got an even Stronger marriage. I love him with all my heart and feel so Lucky to have such an awesome husband like him. He supports my career and know how much it means to me. He's also such an AMAZING father to Makayla. When she's with daddy that kid just gets a sparkle in her eyes. And Makyla well what can I say. She's the best! She love to tell me little stories and almost every night puts on a concert for Gregg and I where she sings and dances. It's just so darn cute. Oh yeah and she's in love at 4yrs old. Well I think its been for a while. She loves her BEST friend Connor. Yep that's right. That little adorable Connor. How can you not love him. So Amber looks like your stuck with me forever. ha ha . Well anyways I just thought that I would finally write to y'all and update you on everything going on. I love and miss all of you dearly. Each and everyone of you are always in my prayers. So please remember Always be yourself and be a true friend. Oh and live life to the fullest. thats what Lin taught me. So thank you Shasta for letting me get to know you mom. She has taught us all a lot.

Update time!

Ok I know I havent updated this thing yet. So here it goes. Tressa is back from her training and is currently working at her new store. She really loves it and so far all the district managers really like her. Mak and I have been home alot. I am looking for a job and have put in alot of applications. I had an interview to day with Fred Meyer but I doubt Ill get something there because we have decided to work oposite shifts again for a while and not put Mak back into day care. So I now have to find a swing shift position. Im going dow to the local pizza joint tonight to apply for their swing shift part time job.

The other day tressa and I took mak to the beach with her power wheels pink jeep. She really had alot of fun with it. The battery Ofcorse did not last long on that wet sand but we got to also see our sunset ruined by the fog!!! The next day we went down to the Historic bayfront and watched the sea lions bark for about an hour. I have pics but blogger is not letting me upload.

Other than that we have been just hanging out! OH if you havent seen Narnia "The lion the Witch and the Wardrobe" RENT IT! HELL even buy it! Its an amazing movie and its full of biblical referances! I really recommend this film to anyone! religious or not!

First post.


Well I have done it. I have made a blog. I never thought I would bring myself to actually making one. I have been alone now for comming up on 48 hours. Tressa is in Portland training for her new job, and Makayla is with my mom in Bend for the week. I have not been alone like this before. Since Tressa and I got married and Mak was born we really haven't spent much time apart. Not having anyone to psyically talk to takes a toll on your heart. I can only imagine how my mother will feel now that we have moved to the coast and her husband is in Heaven. I will do my best to get us back to bend as much as possible to visit my mom and our friends. This week I have put in about 30 applications for jobs and so far none have called. Its only been a few days but when I am not working I feel worried about not being able to make the rent and bills. It scares me. I dont get scared at much anymore but not being financially stable scares me. I am going to start budgeting money better and hopefully be able to create a financial bubble we can float on for a while. Atleast untill Im done with school. Then the fun part starts. Finding a job all over again and begining to pay back student loans. Tonight the season premire of Lost is on and I cant wait. I have been waiting for this all summer.. Anyway thats it for now... talk to you all when I have more to say...
